Welcome! Amidst the clutter of countless online interior design images, I have found smart, stylish, simple (and some not-so-simple) room designs. They were lovingly collected to admire,to inspire, and to share with you. I hope you find great inspiration and even greater enjoyment. xo Valerie

Entryway Style and Practicality: Pocket Doors!!!!

Moving right along from yesterday's post about barn renovations, and the considering the popularity of barn doors, here is a more, shall we say, refined version of that track door idea:

Pocket doors. Putting a pocket door into a doorway is a great style decision. But it's excellent practical uses make it something to consider beyond that. I can make a huge difference in traffic flow and space management. Oh, and did say they look great? They look great!

One important warning: if you put pocket doors in, remember that although they are not loud , they are not quiet, either. Pocket doors that open onto a bedroom may be a disturbance to some.

A Terrific Idea for a Pantry:

I had to include these interior sliding glass doors that were

featured in House Beautiful. They are not technically pocket

doors at all, but they serve the same purpose and they areFantastic!

Speaking of Fantastic, tomorrow is MARDI GRAS, most notably( to me) in New Orleans!!!!
